Troubles of shooting a killer AD

Well just got a message today from a very "irate" person in regards to our new Ad in FTK featuring Greg Pachell and apparently we are all(One Skateboard Co) 86ed for life from this location because of the Ad.

For all those wondering is that Photo shop or is that real flames oh they are real and skillfully controlled with a technique we can't discuss because that's the last thing we need is people amateurishly trying to imitate what we did at this location.

Please note that there is a fire extinguisher at arms length (look behind the deck) and we didn't burn anything that would spark out or "pop" due to the fact it is a wooden bowl.

There is actually a science behind what we do, we aren't some yahoos who did this on a whim, even though the angry caller thought otherwise. Plus we wanted to make sure nothing happened to the bowl as a lot of guys utilize that bowl as there only place to skate during the week and in colder weather, that was something we didn't want on our conscience so the utmost care was involved.

Most people can grasp what we did here as every reaction that we heard from everyone so far was "Wow" "That's sick!" "you guys never cease to amaze me" "Where is that bowl?" etc.
Being a professional skateboard company that is our job, to keep skaters psyched and create images (video/photo) to make you want to go skate and get creative! You would think a place like this warehouse that is built for and by skaters could understand this and most of them do but some (particularly one) does not.
Maybe we one uped them or did it before they could do it who knows, the fact is we where let by key holders, fully knowing what we where going to do and they also supervised to make sure nothing went wrong. So whats the problem? If that doesn't spell permission what does?!

Preferably we would have shot this at FDR, but as fate had it, we had a deadline and it rained and this was made available to us, so we did it up respectfully and in under 12 frames!

So we got 86ed for life for skateboarding at this warehouse,hey whatever will be will be right?!

We appologize for any inconvenience or pissing anyone off and we take full responsibility for our actions and of the various others involved. So let it be a lesson to all of you reading this sometime when you shoot a killer Ad there are consequences, are they worth it? You decide!
